Fire retardant. Not fire proof. It's purpose is to make it more difficult for a fire to start. It can help to dampen the spread at the very beginning, when the fire isn't super hot yet. Which means it gives firefighters just enough time to get there before things get out of hand. Once that fire gets hot enough, that stuff does nothing.
